Search for ipmovie signature beyond the start of the file. This allows to play directly files that combine player and movie into a single executable like http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/game-formats/interplay-mve/DES3S.EXE

/**
 * Search for sync point of all active streams.

 * This is not supposed to be called directly by a user application,
 * but by demuxers.
 *
 * A sync point is a point in stream, so that decoding from this point,
 * output of decoders of all streams synchronizes closest to given timestamp
 * ts (but taking timestamp limits into account, i.e., no sooner than ts_min
 * and no later than ts_max).
 *
 * @param stream_index stream index for time base reference of timestamps.
 * @param pos approximate position where to start searching for key frames.
 * @param min_ts minimum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set).
 * @param ts target timestamp (or position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set in flags).
 * @param max_ts maximum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set).
 * @param flags if AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY is set, seek to any frame, otherwise only
 *              to a keyframe. If AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE is set, search by
 *              position, not by timestamp.
 * @return < 0 if no such sync point could be found, otherwise stream position
 *              (stream is repositioned to this position).
